Check out the sanctioning bodies that your buddy will be running. If he is running more than one go with the most stringent rules.
Almost all will require DOM tubing, you will need to know the weight of the car so you can figure out the size and wall thickness of the DOM you need.
Somthing else to keep in mind is your friend is trusting you with his life by letting you fab his cage. You must be very confident in your skills before you take on this project. I am not doubting your skill since I do not know you, I am just saying you cannot doubt yourself.
I only mentioned this because you are asking some pretty basic questions about fabracation of a unit designed to keep someone from getting hurt or killed.
